CONN Conns Inc

Conn’s, Inc. (NASDAQ: CONN) (“Conn’s” or the “Company”), a specialty retailer of home goods, including furniture and mattresses, appliances, and consumer electronics, today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended January 31, 2024.  

“Since completing the transformative transaction with W.S. Badcock ("Badcock") in December 2023, we have focused on successfully integrating the two organizations, aligning around a common culture, and establishing a platform to drive significant revenue and cost synergies in the coming quarters.   As a result of our team’s efforts, we have removed approximately $50 million of combined expenses during the fourth quarter and we have identified over $50 million of additional cost synergies that we expect to realize over the next 18 months.   In addition, during this period we expect to drive over $50 million of revenue synergies as we transition Badcock’s credit program to Conn’s in-house loan product, offer Conn’s successful eCommerce capabilities to Badcock’s customers, and pursue shared retail growth strategies,” stated Norm Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer.  

“While we expect the macro-environment to remain challenging throughout our fiscal year 2025, I am confident that the Badcock transaction, combined with existing strategic initiatives underway, will position us to emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before. As a result, we expect to experience year-over-year improvements in both retail sales and profitability throughout fiscal year 2025,” concluded Mr. Miller.

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights as Compared to the Prior Fiscal Year Period (Unless Otherwise Noted):

• Total consolidated revenue increased 9.3% to $366.1 million, due to an 8.6% increase in total net sales, and a 10.7% increase in finance charges and other revenues
• The Badcock transaction, which closed on December 18, 2023, contributed $68.4 million to total consolidated revenue
• Net income per diluted share was $1.75, and included $16.3 million of one-time transaction expenses, $14.2 million of one-time expenses related to the extinguishment of debt, and a $104.9 million bargain purchase gain associated with the Badcock transaction
• Adjusted net loss was $1.25 per diluted share

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Highlights as Compared to the Prior Fiscal Year Period (Unless Otherwise Noted):

• Net loss per diluted share was $3.17, and included $16.3 million of one-time transaction expenses
• Adjusted net loss was $6.22 per diluted share

Key Business Highlights

• Completed the transformative transaction with Badcock in December 2023, creating a retailer with significant reach across 15 states and powered by best-in-class payment offerings, compelling eCommerce capabilities, and a premium shopping experience
• Pursued strategies aimed at improving Conn’s retail performance and better serving Conn’s core credit constrained customers, which drove a 21.6% year-over-year increase in annual credit applications, and a 38.2% year-over-year increase in annual eCommerce sales producing record annual eCommerce sales of $109.3 million
• Increased retail gross margin for fiscal year 2024 by 189 basis points to 35.9%
• Removed more than $50 million of costs in fiscal year 2024, with additional efforts underway to reduce costs and drive efficiencies
• Enhanced Conn’s balance sheet by completing a $252.6 million ABS transaction during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 with the Class A bond 13 times oversubscribed and the Class B bond 9 times oversubscribed

Fourth Quarter Results

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $43.3 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, compared to net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 of $42.8 million, or $1.79 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $31.0 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, which excludes charges and credits, debt extinguishment loss and the bargain purchase gain due to the acquisition. This compares to adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 of $36.7 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, which excludes charges and credits for asset disposal and store closure costs. Consolidated amounts within this earnings release include the results of Badcock from December 18, 2023 through January 31, 2024 only.

Retail Segment Fourth Quarter Results

Retail revenues were $296.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to $270.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023, an increase of $26.1 million, or 9.6%. The increase in retail revenue was primarily driven by Badcock revenue of $60.3 million offset by a decrease in Conn's same store sales of 14.4%. The decrease in same store sales resulted from lower discretionary spending for home-related products following several periods of excess consumer liquidity resulting in the acceleration of sales. The decrease in same store sales was partially offset by new store growth.

For the three months ended January 31, 2024, retail segment operating loss was $38.1 million compared to retail segment operating loss of $19.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted retail segment operating loss for the three months ended January 31, 2024 was $21.8 million, which excludes charges and credits for one-time transaction expenses. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted retail segment operating loss for the three months ended January 31, 2023 was $11.7 million, which excludes charges and credits for asset disposal and store closure costs.

The following table presents net sales and changes in net sales by category:

(1)	The total change in sales of repair service agreement commissions includes retrospective commissions, which are not reflected in the change in same store sales.

Credit Segment Fourth Quarter Results

Credit revenues were $70.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to $64.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023, an increase of $6.7 million or 10.4%. The increase in credit revenue was primarily due to Badcock adding $8.1 million of which $4.8 million relates to the change in fair value of Badcock accounts receivable. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 4.3% in the average balance of the Conn's customer receivable portfolio.  

Provision for bad debts increased to $52.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to $44.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023, an increase of $8.4 million. The increase was driven by an increase in the allowance charge on Conn's loans of $7.8 million.

Credit segment operating loss was $12.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024, compared to operating loss of $13.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023. The improvement in credit segment operating loss for the three months ended January 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in provision for bad debts as well as by an increase in credit revenue, as described above.

Additional information on the credit portfolio and its performance may be found in the Customer Accounts Receivable Portfolio Statistics table included within this press release and in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, which we expect to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before April 15, 2024.

Store and Facilities Update

The Company opened one new Conn's store during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. In addition, the Company added 376 stores through the Badcock transaction in December 2023, bringing the total store count to 553 (including 308 dealer stores) in 15 states.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 18, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No.3 (the "Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment") to the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. The Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date, increases the existing interest rate margins and amends the minimum excess availability covenant.

On December 18, 2023, the Company entered into a second-lien term loan and security agreements (the "BRF Term Loan").

Additional detail with respect to the Term Loan Amended can be found in the Third Quarter Form 10-Q.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, comparable GAAP measures and should be considered in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP. They are intended to provide additional insight into our operations and the factors and trends affecting the business. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to financial statement readers because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics we use in our financial and operational decision making and (2) they are used by some of our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze our operating results.
